"Not everybody handles it as well as Harold does," said physical therapist Walter Slivinski. "He's actually doing quite well. His spirits stay high and he just works hard every day, but for some people, this is devastating. They really don't bounce back quickly and he's bouncing back very quick from this."

Just as Harold's infectious spirit and million-dollar smile have captured our hearts, it's also done the same to his nurses at the rehab facility.

"He makes everybody happy and he's just a joy to be with," said nurse Karen Phillips.

Harold has already informed us that his first stop after he gets released will be Burger King. He can't wait to be back out on his own so he can thank all of the people who have sent their good wishes.

"Thank you very much for helping me out in the community and the town. Maybe someday I'll do something for you, so God bless you."

Harold expects to be released from the Heinz Rehab Hospital in about a week.
